I don't know if there are any health risks? I would probably have concerns about trying to sell in the future, it would definitely be a 'tick against' for me if there were two similar houses for sale.

If you look at the circumstantial evidence from the Daily Mail, it says 14 residents withing a mile radius got sick...Now if it was a threat, it would be at least 80% of immediate permanent neighbours in the vicinity of the mast. 14 people, with fairly high density housing, within a mile, especially if they are aged, correlates with natural causes to be honest. There is no conclusive evidence of a health risk. There is probably much more of a health risk living on granite with a hermetically sealed, non ventilated house or near a congested road to be honest. If you think the country is cleaner, then think again as there are a whole host of horrible cases associated with living near boom crop sprayers and the like.
Whether it affects your TV signal or causes your pickups or amp to hum is another matter, I'm not sure about that, that would be my only concern really.
My feedback thread is here.
I wouldn't worry at all. I work with them and have spent many an hour within a few meters. They are low power and the inverse square rule means that the signal will be very small when it reaches you. Less power than when you are near your own wifi (although different a frequency, and different frequncies affect the human body differently), less power than when you are stood near your microwave and much more power than what your handset emits when it's in your pocket/next to your head. As part of my job I undertake Radio Frequency training every 2 years and if you want to PM me your details I'd be happy to discuss / answer any specific questions.

If it does interfere with your gear, you have legal rights and Ofcom should step in though.
In any town there are probably 20 or thirty of them. I'd say that if you are more than 6 miles away it's hard to get a signal

This is one thing you really don't need to worry about.
I'd guess that there's also a difference between the "main" masts that broadcast a strong signal and the local repeaters that just spread it out over a much smaller area.
If there was any kind of health risk from them then probably most of the population is at risk given how many of them there are. I'd be more concerned about high-voltage power cables - there does seem to be a small amount of statistical evidence of a slightly increased risk of cancer from that but you have to be really close, like almost under the pylons.

Exactly. it's about energy, a phone mast normally has a 100A invoming supply but rarely use anything near that. Antennas are directional and split in 3's so if the site is drawing 30 amps each antenna is only using 10 amps (minus losses in the radio equipment as heat etc). Infact the only time they draw higher power is when the battery backup system is charging. They are low power devices, emitting low power non ionising radio frequency radiation which dissipates to milliwatts really quickly.
